WRITER IN INTERESTING ARTICLE ABOUT BIBLE AND PARENTS The article on the "Bible and Parents" which appeared in the Point of View Column of the Courier-Journal, written by a Mr. Henry W. Johnson, is in the opinion of the Leader, of such interest as should be reproduced for the benefit of Leader readers, especially parents. The article follows:
"From time to time, worried parents write in your Point of View Column and ask how to solve some of the present-day problems of their children. One recently signs herself, "Troubled Mother," and several answers to her inquiry have already appeared.
As president of the Kentucky Council of Religious Education, may I be permitted to express some views in an attempt to answer. It is very difficult for children to be any better than their parents, although they can be, and should be. A parent who can't do his or her part in building a life in the child superior of his or her own life is failing with respect to the child. A child who will not permit or accept parents' efforts in this regard, is also failing. God, the Creator of Life, is certainly the greatest authority on life. Let's see what He says on the subject of parents and children. God vests the responsibility and duty of training and instructing children primarily o the parents. God, speaking to parentts concerning teaching His word to them, says, "Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, ad when thou liest down, and when risest up. Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children." Parents are directed to "correct" (Continued on page 8)

Evangelist Is Attracting Crowds
EVANGELIST WELLS ATTRACTS CROWDS TO C.M.E. CHURCH Sunday To Be A Full Day; To Close Out Monday Night By William H. Ferris Rev. R. W. Wells, the famous Kansas evangelist, who came direct from a successful meeting in Oklahoma City, Okla., began a two week's meeting Sunday morning at Chestnut Street C.M.E. Church, Dr. W.E. Farmer, pastor. A large crowd came out to hear the noted preacher. Some of Louisville's representative citizens were present. Dr. W.E. Farmer complimented Mrs. Burns for her work as an evangelist and said that he expected Dr. Wells to launch a whirlwind evangelist campaign. After referring to Dr. Farmer as a leading light in the church and a great preacher, Dr. Wells said that he was born on an East Tennessee farm and that you can get a man out of the country, but you can't get the country out of the man. Rev. Wells makes an impression upon audiences even when sitting in repose in the pulpit. Of medium height, with a powerful physique, the evangelist clinches this impression that he is a man of force and action. There is something dynamic and compelling about him and he holds the close attention of the audience, getting many "Ahmens" as he dramatically tells a story of leads a soul stirring hymn at the close of his sermon, the listener can see how easy it is for him to touch sympathetic chord in his audience. But although an evangelist may be impressive and dynamis, although he can give the audience an emotional thrill, his effect upon an audience will be transient and temporary, unless he brings a message from the Most High, imparts some truths that stick int eh mind, linger in the memory and build up the life. He says something, says it effectively. The High Spots Here are some of the pregnant things Dr. Wells said Sunday morning "A revival is [illegible] spiritualize the church, then sinners can be converted.

C. W. Merriweather Kentucky's race poet gets more praise By John Wilson Townsend In the Lexington Herald While Kentucky has produced a small group of Negro poets of considerably ability--the Cotters, father and son, Laine, of College Hill, and George McClelland, of Louisville--we have yet to foster a colored singer of the quality of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, a critic of Braithwaite's caliber, or a novelist of Charles W. Chestnutt's height, unless he has just arrived in the person of Claybron W. Merriweather, of Hopkinsville. I have known Merriweather for many years, having read at and around his first three pamphlets of poems, "Lights and Shadows," "The Voice of the Soul," and "The Voice of Beauty," as well as his first book, "The Pleasures of Life," but he has always seemed to me many miles below the men just mentioned. I have long wanted to give him a "break" in a brief history of his life and writings; but I have never gotten around to it until [this morning?].
